Dear Member,

The Sydney Children’s Hospital Network has advised the HSU of a proposed restructure of Education and Training and Sydney Child Health Program, deleting three positions and creating three new roles, resulting in no net loss of FTE.

The proposed changes are:

• Establish an Associate Director of the Education Hub position to provide leadership, strategic direction and operational management of the Education Hub.
• Establish an Associate Director of Education and Simulation to provide leadership and governance of the Education and Simulation portfolio to lead the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of education and training services for clinical staff, and corporate staff across the SCHN.
• Transition the current Associate Director Education and Training (Medical) position (0.5 FTE) to establish two new roles as Medical Education Lead (0.3 FTE) and 0.2 FTE to support the positions of Director of Physician Education. This is to provide further support to ensure Royal Australian College of Physicians (RACP) accreditation Senior Medical Staff mandatory training compliance.
